Character graphical changes are NOT in an acceptable state, please make it optional

[Reinha]

No jokes aside. There will be almost certainly no changes until release. This should be impossible because of how close the release is. Every Dev will tell you that. Our experience with older releases show the same. For possible changes the Benchmark would have released on the first or second month of the year.

Anyone who thinks the myriad flaws are getting fixed in 2 months is coping hard. These new assets were made last year, folks. They are doing tiny finishing touches on the expansion and creating 7.2 patch content right now. People who, like me, do not want to play their mangled character anymore are better off exploring other character creation options in the benchmark.

The best we can hope for is that someone is currently writing a slightly apologetic Lodestone post detailing how and when we get those free fantasias they mentioned in a live event.
